We will provide individuals who register for these credits with the appropriate certificate for them to submit. 2017 Florida Preservation Conference sessions and workshops may also be credited for other organizations’ CEUs. All other professions will report CEUs with their individual licensure boards. We will provide certificates of completion to those individual attendees, so they may then file the credits with the appropriate organizations. Please note attendees must sign in at each session for which they would like to receive Continuing Education credits. Saturday tours are not eligible for APA/AICP credits.

Tour 1: Babe Ruth in the ’Burg Tour Guide Will Michaels Description: Babe Ruth is widely acknowledged as the world's greatest baseball player. For at least a decade, from 1925 to 1935, Ruth and his family made St. Petersburg their seasonal home as the Yankees conducted spring training in the city, leaving behind many stories and tales! We will stop at the places loved and frequented by the Babe – from where he hit what may have been the longest home run ever to his homes and other spots he frequented and enjoyed. These include: the Flori de Leon Apartments where Ruth & Lou Gehrig each had a penthouse unit, the ’20s boom era Jungle and Rolyat Hotels, now Admiral Farragut Academy and Stetson Law School, and the locker room used by the Babe at what is today known as Huggins-Stengel Field. Tour leader will be historian Will Michaels, author of The Making of St. Petersburg and The Hidden History of St. Petersburg, and tour guide for the Babe's daughter, Julia Ruth, who visited St. Pete in 2014 as the city marked 100 years of spring training history.

Tour 2: African American History in St. Petersburg and the African American History Trail Tour Guide Gwendolyn Reese Description: In 20014, St. Petersburg opened its African American History Trail, a project that sought to identify the people and places significant to African American history in the city. The trail project was awarded a Florida Trust for Historic Preservation Meritorious Achievement Award in 2015. This bus tour will highlight the award winning trail as well as history and neighborhoods beyond the trail. The heart and soul of African American St. Pete was the “Deuces” or 22nd Street South, which today is a part of the Main Street program. Along 22nd St., one could find it all – from entertainment and food to professional services. Come along and get a feel for the “Deuces” and the often overlooked but fascinating history of African Americans in St. Petersburg. The tour will be led by Gwendolyn Reese, a St. Petersburg local proud of her heritage and neighborhood.

Over the last 10 years, traditional neighborhoods have witnessed both good and bad results. Two historic neighborhoods associations: Old Northeast and Kenwood have conducted several studies and building inventories, documenting the impact of new development and identifying needed LDR improvements. There is strong consensus across neighborhood associations about needed changes; these recommendations were shared with City staff in the Fall-Winter 2016-2017. Track 2: Tactical Preservation Session 1: Cemetery Resources Protection Training (CRPT) Speaker: Jeff Moates Description: Historic information about a community’s past isn’t just found in museums or archives, it is also recorded in stone at its cemeteries. Despite the importance of these sites, many preservationists struggle to get a handle on the laws that protect them or techniques to properly care for them. Session 2: How Masonry Deteriorates and What to do About it Speaker: Craig Bennett, Jr., P.E Description: The majority of our great historic structures, our churches, courthouses, fortifications, industrial structures and finer homes, were built of masonry structures. This session will be looking at ways in which they deteriorate or are damaged. It will describe practical and, occasionally even inexpensive, ways of dealing with failures. This session is aimed at the building owner, the design professional who spends the owner’s hard earned money and the builder, who’s the one who really does the work.

Thursday Sessions

Description: Your local Community Redevelopment Areas can prove to be an advantageous partner in historic preservation. Learn how CRAs can be used as a tool for historic preservation through case studies from St. Augustine and Palmetto. Session 2: Conservation Districts and Demolition Denial: A Powerful Preservation Tool Speaker: Lisa Craig Description: While conservation district overlay zoning has often been referred to as “preservation light” the truth is that such design overlay districts can have as much, if not more force than other better known historic district designations. Learn how one maritime community adopted a conservation zoning district overlay to retain their historic waterman homes while at the same time allowing for flexibility in design review.

Session 3: Historic Garden Attractions and the Image of the Florida Landscape Speaker: David Sacks Description: Florida’s image as a unique and exotic landscape helped fuel trends of tourism and growth that transformed the state in the early modern era, and found a distinctive expression in the early 20th-century phenomenon of the roadside garden attractions. Most of these have vanished, but a number have survived – often by adapting their historic. Formerly commercial sites, and reinventing themselves as cultural and education institutions that celebrate and preserve these singular, often highly personal landscapes. St. Petersburg’s Sunken Gardens will be among the case studies presented.

air theaters constructed in St. Petersburg. Today, this is the only remaining building of the original three. After a hurricane in 1926, the Theater was enclosed by a dome steel roof covering the 1,250 wooden seats that had been varnished to repel rainwater. The original tile-covered parapets and marquis sign have been removed, and the ticket window enclosed. A flat awning still exists typical to theater entryways. The Interstate-275 highway project has put this site mere feet away from the highway. This design workshop will explore ideas how the building and site can be repurposed for future development opportunities. Hands on: Window Restoration Sponsor: Specialized Property Services, Inc.

Tour 1: Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural Preserve Tour Guide Emma Mason, Environmental Educator Description: Weedon Island, today a county preserve, is an expansive 3000+ acre natural area on Tampa Bay. It is home to numerous species of native plants and animals, an educational facility and a rich cultural history. Indigenous peoples occupied this site for thousands of years, leaving behind middens still seen today. More modern times were marked by the arrival of homesteaders, speakeasies, a Hollywood movie studio and a 1930s airport. This tour will include a walk on a boardwalk thru wetlands adjacent to Tampa Bay to an observation tower and also a tour of the Preserve’s museum and cultural center. It is recommended to dress casual, wear closed toed walking shoes and to bring water, hat and sunscreen.

On this tour, we will visit and stop at some of the places that are earning St. Pete its reputation, including artists’ studios in reused historic buildings; a for profit gallery in a pre-1920 home that was the developer’s model home for his coming development; and a home studio in a residential neighborhood that was designated as the city’s first “artist enclave” neighborhood where special zoning rules have been adopted to allow certain creative commercial activity that would not otherwise be allowed in a residentially zoned neighborhood.
